Depression Is Real

Depression is real, but people ignore it. tell me what's the deal? why make people feel worthless? Nothing about it is funny, laughing makes them laugh less. why do something, that makes them want their life less? Depression is a battle, like riding a horse without a saddle. you shake, and fall with no one to catch you. now tell me, does this effect you? because if you answer no, im here to tell you wrong. 1 out of 4 people could write a song. About their battle without a saddle, and how it effected them. and without you, they probably would have left. This world is a cruel place, people would rather leave than look at their own face. feeling like a disgrace, is like living underwater. everyone's still breathing, but you're being slaughtered. the demons that live inside, give you no place to hide. and when you reach out for help, they only scream louder to make you welp. your ear drums are shattered, you feel like you don't matter. no people don't listen, they only take the ladder. away from you is where people stay. and they always ask, "why did she take her life away?" - Kelly Gose

Kelly, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments.
